Cache

Cache middleware for Fiber designed to intercept responses and cache them. This middleware will cache the Body, Content-Type and StatusCode using the c.Path() as unique identifier. Special thanks to @codemicro for creating this middleware for Fiber core!

func New(config ...Config) fiber.Handler

Examples

Import the middleware package that is part of the Fiber web framework

import (
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2/middleware/cache"
)

After you initiate your Fiber app, you can use the following possibilities:

// Initialize default config
app.Use(cache.New())
// Or extend your config for customization
app.Use(cache.New(cache.Config{
    Next: func(c *fiber.Ctx) bool {
        return c.Query("refresh") == "true"
    },
    Expiration: 30 * time.Minute,
    CacheControl: true,
}))

Config

// Config defines the config for middleware.
type Config struct {
    // Next defines a function to skip this middleware when returned true.
    //
    // Optional. Default: nil
    Next func(c *fiber.Ctx) bool
    // Expiration is the time that an cached response will live
    //
    // Optional. Default: 1 * time.Minute
    Expiration time.Duration
    // CacheControl enables client side caching if set to true
    //
    // Optional. Default: false
    CacheControl bool
    // Key allows you to generate custom keys, by default c.Path() is used
    //
    // Default: func(c *fiber.Ctx) string {
    //   return c.Path()
    // }
    KeyGenerator func(*fiber.Ctx) string
    // Store is used to store the state of the middleware
    //
    // Default: an in memory store for this process only
    Storage fiber.Storage
}

Default Config

// ConfigDefault is the default config
var ConfigDefault = Config{
    Next:         nil,
    Expiration:   1 * time.Minute,
    CacheControl: false,
    KeyGenerator: func(c *fiber.Ctx) string {
        return c.Path()
    },
    Storage:      nil,
}
